Something is going on here... why is the AP releasing this now and putting the total focus on Saudi Arabia after so many years of silence? Is is because there is a new King? (I once read that API is run by Zionists so I'm sure there is an agenda at play here.) Any thoughts?

WASHINGTON (AP) — For years, some current and former American officials have been urging President Barack Obama to release secret files they say document links between the government of Saudi Arabia and the Sept. 11 attacks.

Other officials, including the executive director of the Sept. 11 commission, have said the classified documents do not prove that the Saudi government knew about or financed the 2001 terrorist attacks, and that making the material public would serve no purpose.

"The BLM has selective management... the BLM has property all along the the border. My contention is, the Bundys will start paying a fee, when they start taking a fee from the cartels, to use that property to bring drugs into this country. BECAUSE I never see the M-16s down on the border, stopping the drugs and the terrorists, and the day laborers coming through on BLM property. It's an open door, but they(BLM) are going to point their M-16s at our faces to save some turtles and collect a fee? It's a much bigger story than anyone is giving it... FOX was the only truck in that parking lot and it's disgusting, because the entire country should know what's going on. "

This is generally what happens when you walk over Americans' freedom...

Despite reported efforts to silence conservative viewpoints, social media sites like Facebook remain the most accessible forum through which the public can express its views. Developments regarding the Bundy Ranch situation, for instance, have been shared extensively by users despite the fact that many mainstream media sources have largely ignored the story.

Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, who some reports suggest has a financial interest in the Bureau of Land Management’s action against the Bundys, recently indicated that the situation is “not over,” leading many to prepare for a federal raid on the historic ranch. In response to the announcement, patriots on Facebook proved they are not

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a resolution Wednesday granting President Obama limited authority to launch a military strike on Syria in response to its reported use of chemical weapons against civilians.

Acting hours after Obama, during a visit to Sweden, said the credibility of Congress and the international community was also at stake, the committee voted 10 to 7, with one member voting “present,” to approve using force against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The resolution now goes to the full Senate. The House is separately considering a similar resolution.

The Senate panel acted after top administration officials pressed their case Wednesday for congressional approval of a U.S. military strike, even if lawmakers would support only a more limited authorization than the administration originally wanted.

Revolution PAC, backer of U.S. Rep. Ron Paul’s bid for the Republican nomination, will host a live webcast on Saturday following the South Carolina Primary election. In conjunction with the event, the super committee is calling for a nationwide boycott of cable/network outlets, which have exhibited bias against Rep. Paul in their reporting.

Election analysis will be provided as the polls close tomorrow by Revolution PAC’s South Carolina correspondents and an in-studio grassroots liberty panel. The public is invited to participate in the webcast from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. CST Saturday, January 21 by visiting http://www.RevolutionPAC.com.

“Pew Research just a few months ago confirmed the immense media bias against Dr. Paul,” explains Revolution PAC Chair Gary Franchi. “Despite his electoral success, he consistently receives the least national media coverage of all Republican candidates.”

“Quite simply, Ron Paul’s supporters are losing their patience and are creating their own media opportunities,” says Franchi. “Revolution PAC is pleased to be able to offer this forum, and we anticipate a lively event on Saturday.”

Rep. Paul received the coveted endorsement of South Carolina State Sen. Tom Davis Sunday, Davis calling Paul “a Tea Party of one against a towering wave of red ink.” At a Myrtle Beach press conference, Davis added, “There's only one person speaking to what I believe is the core problem of our country today. The biggest threat to our liberty comes from debt."

Reinforcing what is shaping up as a two-man race, Rep. Paul and Mitt Romney are the only Republican candidates who have successfully secured positions on the primary ballots of every state, reported South Carolina’s The State newspaper last week. A CNN/ORC International Poll released Monday also revealed that Paul and Romney are the only Republican contenders tied with Barack Obama in a likely general election matchup.

Revolution PAC is supporting U.S. Rep. Ron Paul’s campaign for the Republican nomination and consistent, constitutional message with targeted TV advertising, direct mail campaigns and innovative Web promotions complemented by billboards and radio ads in key primary states. Unlimited donations by individuals, businesses and organizations are being accepted by Revolution PAC to support that effort.

So they want to pull down statues of the racist Theodore Roosevelt. He was also an imperialist, so I'm all for it! Socialist Woodrow Wilson was just as racist, and his statues need to go too!
But it would be a shame to leave all those pedestals empty. So the answer is obvious! The libertarian Calvin Coolidge WASN'T A RACIST! Yeah, the press and the Education Mafia will hate it, because he...

I'm just posting a poll to try to gauge people's support if I were to run for state representative. I live in Kansas where they just passed a massive 1.2 billion tax increase. My representative is a liberal Republican who voted for that tax increase. He and all of the other big government Republicans in Kansas need to be replaced in the next election. I know that in the past people on this...

2016 Presidential Election

Donald Trump is a candidate of the Feds.(1) (4/30/2016)
I say so because in this campaign there is a lot of comedy show done by S.S.G..
Those rallies, either for trump or against him, have the purpose to raise his popularity.
What is S.S.G.?

First five minutes of the video he gets through the candidates individually, then he does two minutes of election predictions, then he goes onto other things (including Ali). Pretty interesting.

It seems like Trump does not know how to retreat, always on the offensive.
Latest victim is SC GOP Senator who is widely respected among neocons including many left wingers.
Perhaps it is attacks like these that have made even DGP bit too scared to criticize Trump, something he used to do without fear when Hillary had wide lead over Trump in MSM polls. In all fairness, Trump had...

This is August 15. Perhaps you know the historical importance of this very date more than a generation ago.
Well, it marks the beginning of Woodstock, “three days of peace, love, and music,” in 1969. The music festival drew 400,000 people – and many more who would later claim to have been there!

If you want to go back to watch Scott Baio's speech, you can. It was only about four and a half minutes. He concluded with the line, "Let's make America America again."
